The City of Sacramento recognizes it is important to prepare for climate change impacts. Some of the potential impacts expected in our region include:

• More frequent extreme temperatures

• Higher energy demands

• More limited water supplies

• Increased fire and flood risk

• Public health risks such as air quality impacts and disease vectors

We can prepare for climate change by planting heat resistant tree species to help keep our city cool; improving the efficiency of how we use water and energy; preserving and expanding water sources; protecting the public from increased health risks and safety hazards; promoting a climate-resilient economy; and planning for potential impacts to public infrastructure.

Goals

Create a community that is resilient to the effects and impacts of climate change.
